97 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "Layered and graceful, the 2021 Pinot Noir The Beaux Freres Vineyard pours a ripe ruby hue and reveals a beautiful perfume of orange rind, fresh red plum, clove spice, and rocky earth. Medium-bodied, with tremendous energy, fine tannins, a mineral texture, and a great, lightly toasty finish, it’s a gorgeous wine to drink over the next 10-12 years. Absolutely beautiful. Drink: 2023-2035. (9/17/23)"
95+ points Erin Brooks (Wine Advocate): "Medium ruby-purple, the 2021 Pinot Noir The Beaux Frères Vineyard opens slowly on the nose to a core of wild blackberry and blueberry, revealing tones of forest floor, licorice, bitters and floral potpourri as it spends time in the glass. The light-bodied palate is soft and juicy with surprisingly concentrated flavors for its delicate frame, and it has a long, floral finish. This is elegant, expressive and easy to drink! Drink: 2024-2034. (Aug 2023)"
95 points James Suckling: "Complex aromas of cherry stones, bramble berries, licorice, cardamom, bark and some potpourri. Salty olive undertones, too. It’s medium-bodied, tight and refined, with very fine tannins. Savory. Somewhat restrained for now. Unfined and unfiltered. Drink from 2024. (4/4/23)"
95 points Decanter: "This estate's signature vineyard was a plum orchard for many years. This site is a mix of own-rooted vines along with grafted Dijon clones. The oldest vines are 34 years old. This wine combines elegance and depth of complexity to a tee. The aromatics of the site's signature forest floor and exotic spices hint at lingering dark fruit notes. Red berry fruits give way to pluots, black plums and mint. There is a savoury underline throughout the wine's balanced, elegant texture. Silky tannins to finish. Drinking Window: 2023-2036. (May 2023)"
94 points Wine Spectator: "Dynamic and expressive, with fragrant violet and raspberry aromas that highlight spirited guava, white pepper and spiced tea flavors, which build toward medium-grained tannins. Drink now through 2033. (6/30/23)"
